Catholic Charities of Chicago needs your help NOW

22 Feb, 2016

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago serves 1 million people in Cook and Lake counties. Because of the state budget impasse, this social services arm of the Catholic Church is owed $25 million, and is facing potential program closures and staff layoffs.

Catholic Charities gives help to senior citizens so they can stay in their homes, provides daycare to low-income parents so they can work, and finds shelter for the homeless so they can rest and eat.
